Winner: [to be updated after game]
Score: Portugal(0) vs Brazil(0)
No goals scored.
Recap
Damn, this was a boring game and clearly Portugal and Brazil only cared to end in a draw.
Both these teams played safe, they didn’t attack with force, had long shots to the goal, and didn’t hassle much. For two teams that could compete hard, there weren’t an yellow cards given on the second half.
Both teams made sure they were healthy going to the next round. Dunga showed some signs of care for the Brazilian team seeing him walking up and down the side of the field. If he did that against Ivory Coast and Korea DPR then I wouldn’t have any problem with that. It seems this is all for the show.
Key Takeaway
Let’s just forget this game. For the last 6 months since the schedule was announced, people were waiting for this matchup and it disappointed well enough.
